This is something I've put into most workflows at $(WORKSPACE=/=heroku) that end up disabling a customers systems. It depends a bit on how hard we have to kill a system for various factors. But for the softest setting, we usually start pulling DNS or similar access configs for a minute, wait for a minute, disable for 2, wait for 2, ... and the 30 minutes never end.

This gets people on the phone with support quickly if they don't react to their account manager or mails. Like, we've had a possible security incident coming from a customer system and they didn't react - because they tried to hide their processes internally. Scream-Testing got us on calls with their InfoSec in a hurry.
